It worked! в Parts and accessories for small household appliances

My microwave oven has not worked for more than a year. Technically, he's not dead. But every time I use it, it flips the switch. So before I decide to buy a new one, I'll probably do a little research on YouTube to see if there's a solution. There were lots of videos to watch, so I took my microwave apart and found the potential problem. I ordered this part hoping it would work. When I received the item, I hooked it up right away. My microwave came alive without the switch tripping! Money saved

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Not in fashion

Cheap. They break FAST!

Bought 2 pcs I really only had to replace the normally closed type switch, but I thought it would be nice to have both types (NC and NO) and two NC switches too to have. The first NC switch I installed took less than a week and the second took less than a DAY! I have had two microwaves (one owned by another family member) that have lasted over 20 years without having to change a switch. Now it seems that the switches in modern microwave ovens break too often and the replacement switches are…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok

Great quality, microwaveable!

Works great. 15 minutes (I've done this before) and my microwave is working great again. For now I only needed a normally closed switch, but I'm glad to have a normally open switch as a backup if and when that microswitch fails in my microwave. For those having trouble getting the switch to work - make sure you are using the correct switch! Look closely at the switch you are removing. On the side it has a circuit with NC and NO on it. If the pin is on NC you need to use a normally closed switch

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not sure

Saved me from buying a new microwave

Love this switch it saved me from buying a new microwave. My Whirlpool Microwave (Model # WMC30516AS) turned itself on as soon as the door was opened. After googling I found out that the door switches need to be checked and replaced if necessary. So I opened the microwave and found that one of the three door switches had lost its spring action. So I ordered these witches as their description matched what I needed for my microwave. I replaced the broken switch with this one and my microwave is…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Very expensive

Fragile, look elsewhere

This product is exactly as described. One closer and one opener. My center switch on my Kenmore microwave, which is normally closed, needed replacing. My switch worked as soon as you start cooking something. I have replaced this switch 3 times in a row with the same model. The first time I thought "maybe I just have a bad switch", but after two more switches I realized that they are just very poor quality. Best case scenario, I left the microwave running most of the day before the normally…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Large and bulky

The right parts at the right price.

This was a lifesaver for us. The Kenmore 790.80333310 microwave broke the same day we started having problems with the fridge so a local repairman came to visit. He said all microwave ovens are losers when it comes to investing in repairs because the likelihood of problems recurring is too high to justify a $200+ repair bill. Having on hand I searched the internet and found the necessary parts and Revain was the cheapest. I also bought these fuses. Blau Catele. Microwave Fuse Ceramic Fuse…

Pros
  • Hands-Free Operation
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

I have a six year old microwave oven, courtesy of the original owners of my home, and the door latches just stopped working properly (the door stayed closed). Researching the internet I found a review of my microwave oven model where the reviewer had problems with the door and fixed it by replacing the door latches with these. I ordered 2 packs of Lonye KW3A microwave door switches (1 normally closed and 1 normally open) which were recommended by a reviewer. Since my device is built into…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • boring packaging

Read the fine print before ordering and test before install

The product description says "Normally Open + Normally Closed" which I think means they are reverse connected. That's a wild guess. Although I think the diagrams on the side of the switch should still show exactly how they are wired. It is dangerous if you can turn on the microwave with the door open. With that in mind, still 2 stars - the supplier should provide a clearer description. However, the one I wanted was one of two switches, so I'm glad it's working so far. ** * Great replacement for

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Modern

Ignore some of the negative reviews

Update (2) - 02/06/21: The Switch has been working for the last 5 months so I've returned 1 star. I had an issue with a blown microwave fuse while the microwave was running and the door was open to stop it. It turned out that the latch plate (the piece of plastic that holds the switches and engages the door hooks) was so worn that it was possible to pull on the door to open it, causing the normally closed switch to snap while the other 2 switches stayed on. . giving all 3 continuity for a…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
